DEFINITION OF EDUCATION.

Definition of education: Education is the process of all educative activities through conscious teaching and learning method of transmission of career ,vocation,and professional existing knowledge from the teachers to the learners.

Education is a procedural method of learning.This teaching and learning method,could come through formal or informal teaching  learning methodologies. But for this purpose,we shall deduce our intellectual capabilities to focus more on formal eduction which is the primary objectives for this discussable topic.

In light of this,we shall briefly stretch our intellectual jurisdiction in looking at the informal education which is domesticated with the Nigeria culture.

Education absolutely, can  not fuction effectively without involving people's culture. Cultural practices is part of education.if the above statement is an authentic verifiable truth,it means,culture is the cradle for all formal eduction.learning begins the moment a child is born into the world through the child's biological parents or guidance which form the basis for every informal learnable activities of the child which is holistically embedded by the culture of that environment such child is born.

The child learns from the behavior of the parents through sight and hearing techniques even at the age of one.this learning abilities didn't come through formal education but an informal education organized through the cultural practice of the child's immediate society (family).Now,as the child grows older,the child tries to distinguish between those practice of behavior learned through formal education and informal education in accepting the behavior best suites for him and grow with the behavior into adulthood.

In view of this,it becomes cumbersomic extracting away completely the informal learned behavior of the child associated with the culture  in the name of inculcating a new formal learning to the mind.

The human mind is already cultural before birth.since the formation of the child is from a dual source ,which comes from the average 46 chromosome of the both parents and the child becomes a product of the father's DNA,it means,if the father carries the behavior influenced through his cultural upbringing, that child that carries his DNA,will also be part of that cultural behavior even at the conceptual stage .this becomes a knowledgeable facts since no child was formed in its self.our efforts to introducing western education is a welcome idea that channels our collective energy into a more civilized and modern society hence,this mustn't dryclean our existing cultural practices away out of huge ignorance of the significant effect of our cultural heritage to matching with the western education and modernities.

Yes,we all need modern eduction yet ,we must not misplace our priorities using western education against our cultural practices that is capable to unify and strengthen our collective cultural character for sound moralities and underlined  purified divinities.

Now let's have a clear peep at the formal eduction.

Formal educational system is nothing but an advanced system of education drew from the informal eduction.Formal education is an investment of grater opportunities in maximizing our ultimate potentials in creating a kind of society modified by the people in the overt society.formal eduction offers us useful advantage to hyness our national resources to consolidate development of the society.glaringly, the credibility of the western education can not be overemphasized. There is a high-level of human consciousness through formal education.the tendencies for working within the armpits of the laws which  oftentimes is in the front burner,controls the human behavior to be civil and adopts proper developmental pursuits.the relevant perspective of formal education restructure our ideologies for an effective communication with the international society in attracting modern development.

NIGERIAN PERCEPTION ON EDUCATI ON.

A COUNTRY WITHOUT A HISTORY.

History is synonimous with folktales. A folktale however, is a story of an events which took place in the past and been presented to the younger generstions. History, is a transmision of both the pleasant and the unpleasant events that took place in the past from one generations to another to broading our imtellectualities, Cultural, institution, and belief -identity consciousness of the people. History is oftentimes striking to the past which the present conveys. without the present, the past is unattainable. in solving the overt problem of every nation, we need to take into cognizance the imparativeness of the super- present in avoiding  unpleasant history. nigeria as a country, now functioning as a nation without national history. moving forward into applicable progressivism, we must first of all begin to reintroduce history into our school curriculum for  proper reference viability that gives such historical events a factfinding ground to ascertain factualities that accompany such tales. nigeria as a country can not drop its shadow out of fear of divisions and arbitrary misinterpretation of the ontological truth. A country without history is dead and irredeemable.idealy, if indeed we are scared of assembling our history out of fear of resounating discord and pogroms which took place in the past, then we need not to repeat those unwanted events that has devulve some secret to some part of our dear nation now seriously using that to creating an atmosphere for soccession to dismember our unity. History must be learnt and be told in our various schools to furnish the younger generations on the abberiations of  behaviour that has led to such an aged long blistering pain and hardship to the good people of nigeria. we need to be more interested in rebuilding our country with truth not lies, sincerity not betrayals, genuiness not double standard, originalities not fakery, reconcilations not segregation, equity not disfranchisement, love not hatred, and modalities that will collectively marshal out a good plans as a useful vehicle that will bring every part of the country for a united forefront for national development and its achievable plans for the attainability of the nigeria dreams. our dear country is fast losing her core value sytem due to unpreceedented poor history and disunified tales. inadvertently, our corrosive force for national unification structure is fast eroding as well as creating mayhem and street orchins fighting against the nigerian state. mending national issue with clear understanding of the nigeria diversities in our cultural heritage, religious practices, and regional differences, is to be given an extreme anticipatory credence. History can only bind us together as one indivisible emtity ,when such history connotes some elementary facts and truth, as well as providing a solid ground for Ameliorating those areas where people of the nigeria state are embittered towards the federal government. it is important to state, many nigeria young generation youths, are been devoid of the real and truthful history of the past . Nigeria youths, are been brainwashed by the older generation whose core interest is to create discord against the nigeria state . this misguided and misinformed youths, now goes about the business of the nigeria project with much egoistic mindset of some sort ,as the number one citizens of the nigeria state. look, what poor history does to people's mind, is gross public misconduct and poor adherence in the pursuit of the nigeria unity and and progress. poor history gives an adequate allowance for arnarchy and marr our great aspirations for economic growth. A poor history associated with agony and hateful tales, reduces the tendencies for producing a good citizens. the nigeria state is under a serious threat with the concurrent happenings of situational ugly events that is practically setting a poor preceedent and eating up our unity and purposeful existence. look, it is in our wisdom we collectively come together to reinsert history into our eductions to be able to equip the younger generations of the past happenings that are yet unresolved. as such, it has become a reoccurence decimal with negative anticidence. people must be told with some narations that will enhance our moral standard as a people ,as well as pacify to solving those aged long history with development deficits. good and qualitative history, transmit good behavour to the people in reorganizeing ourselves working towards the path of national development.

WHY ARE WE PRESENTLY HERE?

All problematic situations, starts within before its wider spread. nigeria problem didn't start in the now, it started in the past and was not accorded significant attention in arresting those national challenges, as such, the entire facron of the nigeria state becomes domicle and inactive for national development. nigeria problem is associated with leadership failure at every spheres of our national lives. all problem have a solution solving mechinism if been attacked with a relentless will in achieving an excellent results. coping mechinism does not dissipate a long lasting challenges , it rather sprout more challenges and then, destroy the entire system. nigeria as a nation is swallowing with poor leadership and lack of knowledge for economic growth. for us to move forward as a country, we need to ask ourselves this hypothetical questions as regard all our past national assigment from our past leaders to be able to pinpoint some of the mistakes made in order to arriving at a solution solving gear to pushing the country to a greater hight. why are we presently here as a nation blessed with all the natural and human resources yet under-developed?. the ability to solve problem, is the capacity to identify those challenges that has kept us disunited and unde-developed. yes, we are where we are simply because, we have failled to collectively attack those challenges and use them as an advantage to advancing our true quest for a developed nation. our problem as a country is an age long challenges created by our political elite to disintegrate the citizens through religious polarities and ethnic colouration used against the good people of the state in order to loot our collective partrimony dry and then lord themselves against the people. How did we find ourselves into this quagmare? why is the nigeria problem excercebating? does it mean that the only solutions and its alternative is to possibly call for a national comfab or a refriandum? Is the nigeria only solution is for a collective call for seccession? Are we ever readily available for a united nigeria where no individual or region is more superior than the others? our political space has been polluted to the point where politics are been played at the expense of human lives. politics has eating up the entire segment of the nigeria society and then making our problem unreformable and unerrasable. A situation where political appointment are been giving to balance religious affiliations at the expense for meritocracy, is a serious problem that need a significant reformation. the situation in nigeria, is gradually getting out of shape where the present generation may take laws into their hands through agressive protest that may unsettle the political landscape into apocalyptic atmosphere. A situation where those saddled with the responsibilities to making laws for the common citizens now makes laws against the people to continue to impoverish the people . all nigeria citizen need to realize that we all have a core mandate in ensuring that the nigeria dreams is achieved irreapective of our unfortunate situations. peoples right must not be infridged and get away with it. people must be giving their civic right for a lawful gathering or protest against government policies that lack humanface. counter protest with the toga for pro protest, must be annihiliate out of our Democratic system due to the fact that such gathering is a product of corruption with men and women engaged in national ignorance . why are we here? oh yes, we are here due to the fact that the people of this country has been bought over by the political class that has battered their national consciense away from doing the right thing that benefits us as a nation. we must not reneged in our collective will for a better nigeria.we must decimate those unforseen elements that mars development. page 10.

HOW DO I RESHAPE THE BATTERED IMAGE OF NIGERIA BEFORE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

Nigerian collective will, is crucial to our peculiarities and development. the behavioural record of the nigeria populace with good image before the international communities, is essentially regarded as image laundry in reshaping the battered image of the country to somewhat something significantly good for the next generations yet to come .which its enablement, is to be regarded in a higher esteem whereever they introduce themselves as a nigeria citizen.the international communities has messed up citizens of nigeria found in various nations in the world, due to unscrupulous elements with poor anticidence that places the image of the nigeria nation portrayed in a bad perceptions. An average nigeria before the international communities, is been perceived as criminals, lawless, prostitutes, cyber crime or internet fraudsters, bribery and corruption which has displaced the once cherished image of our dear country as intelligent people, hardworking, good moralist, and people with the fear of God. As a citizen of nigeria, we must conduct our business any where in the world legally and uphold rule of law that governs the environment we may find ourselves anticipatorily.Arbiterarily, no country in the world, with out citizens with lawless behaviour labbled as criminals, prostitutes, and internet fraudsters.this set of citizens with the above personalities, are scartered everywhere in the world commiting henious crime against humanities yet, that of the nigerians, becomes noticeable across the globe due to the fact that the percentage of nigerians found in this abnormal act is seemingly very high against other countries in the world. look, there are many nigerians across the globe doing efficiently good in contributing their quota for nation building in the country they resides yet, the international communities never accord glory to the nigeria nation for the successful contributions of our citizens in the foriegn land, instead, the international communities refers to them as"America born Antony joshua"American born chima amanda"etc .what they tried to do, is to decieve some gullible minds to believing that the above international figures are not nigeria citizens but that of the America ciitzens while errasing their original affinities with Africa or their home country. nigeria as a country need an urgent attention to minimize this ugly trend against our dear nation. we must begin to identify all our nigeria stars that nationalized any where in the world and bring them home to honor their hard effort in putting the country's image in a shinning light.we need to give them award, and recognize what they do with their career. we need to breakout from our lack of care for the citizens anywhere in the world, and begin to place some level of importance to ourselves by ensuring our security and welfare is been granteed for all the nigeria citizens be it in nigeria and beyond. we need to work with the country ambassadors in various countries of the world to collaborate with our citizens that are doing excellently well abroad to attract development to our father land with their resources. nigerians living abroad, must shun illegal businesses , drug trafficking, and lack of proper paper documents for their stay abroad which has become monsterous to their entire wellbeing making law enforcement agencies searching to have them arrested and destroy their life time ambition in incarceration. every single nigeria , home and abroad, need to understand the enomity of the crime they anticipate to commit and should eminently desist from every crime labbled practices for the growth and development of the nigeria state and her generations to come. good reputation, is far better than ill riches that posess a great threat to our immediate soceity. nigeria citizens in the diaspora, must understand that they hav a civic responsibility to perform in bringing in the nigeria of our dream. we need those in diaspora to come back home and participate in all our electoral process as well as sponsor a good candidate with their financial resources to bring about good leadership to our Democratic governance. election in nigeria is capital intensive, as such, good citizens do not have the financial resources to get involve in the monkey water of the nigeria politics classfified as"dirty" the biggest problem of the younger generation in nigeria, is misinformation and strong ignorant. nigeria has degraded or degenerated to a stage where reading , has become an elusive task due to the overbearing occassion of hardship and poor living conditions which has disengaged the citizens from the quest for useful knowledge. i charge every well meaning nigeria to start revolutionary movement in their area of endeavours, to causing a radical innovative change that will move us away from those acts and behaviours that has deprived us good leadership, good citizens, and underpened us as under-developed nation and critically look for beter things in fixing our past lacunas correctively for the good people of the nigeria state. i am confident that every conflicting interest that has deepen our political and ethnic discord, will be settled in moving the nigeria state achieving the vision of our forebearers. we must agressively challenge those grey areas that has caused us as a nation with mal-leadership, mal-administration, and mal-development collectively in getting our nigerian dreams achieved. page 9.

HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

Development comes with some sort of innovations and proper planning methods hence, national development is associated with human development. take away human in the overt society, development becomes meaningless and voidity of appearances. every development is painstanking and resilence of an action puts together to neccessitate giant stride. development is never a magical appearance of sorts, but a sequence of an actionable plans puts together into practice in producing a better result for for the betterment of the general public. with the above assertions, therefore implies , development is not an appearence of poor planning and lack of actionable practices but remarkably a tested action of plans. nigeria as a country is under developed not because it lacks all the qualities that brings about sequence of development, but due to the inability to enshrine pragmatic leadership into our Democratic system of governance, national development bears that lack of some sorts in all the segment or parastatas in the nigeria state. every citzen of the country must work synergously in tandam to the national development plans and fashon out ways on how we can start bringing in development in our local communities through community efforts in persuit for national development plans.federal Government can not reach out to every part of the communities for develooment but communities can initiate those pet projects that falls within their jurisdistion to achieving the basic need of the society. community service is not government, it is a service of the communities rendering services to the people in their locals to enjoy the basic need of life for the overall benefits of the immediate society. citizens of the society can work collectively or with individual efforts in providing portable water, schools, primary healthcare, maintenance of government good road, schoolarship to the less previllage in the communities, protect lives and properties, and revamping of government abandoned industry situated in their various cimmunities with a written agreement with the federal, state, and local government. good governance comes from the people, not from the government.government is an institution not a people.people can be in a governance but governance can never be in a people.what makes up every governance, is the people of vested interest not governance of vested interest.once our human behaviour is been devoid of greed, stealing, carlosness, pride, extrvagant spending, parochialism, ethnocism, and lawlessness , governance becomes interestingly palatable to the society.since human behaviour controls institutions and not institutions controlling human behaviour.effectively, the enermous responsibilities rest on human to changing those institutional behaviour with the depth of negativism into positivism. no system works on its own without humans .human operates every system termed corrupt and evil.therefore, to get the system to function to our societal expectations, we therefore, need men with unquestionable character and lack of corrupt or criminal tendencies in taking total control of the entire system. the conductors and drivers of every institution is exclusively operated by humans who puts in institutional rules and laws and then violates those laws made by them with greed and pride.institutions can not move except people moves them.the institutions are infallable. institutions does not steal nor goes against its self but people steal and go against institutions. it becomes incubent on this generation that operates those system to be guided by integrities and fear of God to allowing the unblamished institutions perform its core values and responsibilities to the general interest of the people. every citizen of nigeria is duty bond to put in national interest above individual interest in carrying out our responsibilities. the success of every nation, is the power of the citizens in making sure the effective workings of the institution with no sharp practices. page 8

WHY ARE MINE A CITIZEN OF NIGERIA?

WHY ARE MINE A CITIZEN OF NIGERIA? THE 1914 amalgamation which broght about the south and the north coming together as an indivisible country, did not took place by happenstance but a divine orchestration by the supreme controller of the universe (God) whose emphasis is for the unity and progress of the nigeria forming an army of great people whose resilence power will bring about a great nation where God's overwhelming glory will be present. if the above belief is said to be an absolute thinking, it there means that God's perfect will for the nation nigeria is unavoidable, indisputable, and unchallengeable. though, it may take some period of time in achieving this absolute will of God for the people of this great nation called nigeria .therefore, we must not be paturbed by the occurence of political event and its leadership malfeasance that has defiled our collective efforts since the inception of the amalgamation of this great nation. the ability to be born as a citizen of this great nation, can not be overemphasize but the perfect will of God to mankind. this informed understanding of our collective existence as a people who never bargain to be born into the nigeria state but find ourselves been born in nigeria as a citizen, need to understand that the permissive will of God is a determinant factors we as human do not have control over them which however, ushered in some foundamental basic tools for our co-existency as a nation. glaringly, our citizenship as a nigerian must be broght to bear with some essential elementary questions e.g, why are mine a citizen of nigeria? dear nigerians, your citizenship as to been a nigerian can not be questionable.what is questionable regarding your nigeria citizenship, is that of your individual capacity in joining forces with other well meaning nigerian in making the reel out projects of this great nation achievable. i hav travelled to several part of the world, never seen a country whose citizens are not proud of her country as nigeria do in the public space.this abhorable behaviour is demarketing our country nigeria before the international communities as well as chassing away potential investors from coming to estabulish businesses in nigeria. we must collectively see our country as a great nation and become proud of it.whatever is in your possession you ignorantly do not place value on , will never ascert valueness to you either. we need to be proud of our nigerianess where ever we go or found ourselves.afterall, the value of a thing lies in the way and manner you portrays it before people around you and beyond. A country where citizens do not believed in her aspirations and dreams, is an unproductive nation where all sorts of obnoxious behaviour and lack of rule of laws overrides all Democratic ethos . Rome, was not built in a single day.therefore, if we so desire for a great nation, we must set out a development plan that will encapsulate both human and infrastructural development for the generation yet unborn as well as re-engineering our collective efforts towards achieving them. our Democratic institution is nascent.unlike America Democratic institution which is over 100 years. we will evudently get to the peak of our democracy only if we start some fruitful efforts in reminencing to our past leadership lacunas and the level of under-develooment it caused us as a nation and start ameliorating those changes for the betterment of the nigeria projects. of a truth, nigeria as a nation need quality leadership.look, you can not get a quality leadership if there are no quality citizens?leadership does not make a leadership, what makes leadership is the people.leadership does not rule leadership, leadership is to lead people.the citizen of this great nation nigeria, is the significant product of our leadership.people are rule by the people not rule by the animals. if people are rule by the people that makes up certain percentage of the overt society, it means, the leaders doing the ruling are part of us, our fathers, sons, daughters, friends, mothers, relatives, and our bosses living in the same street and geographical space with us.they are all humans as you are. the time for a conscious thinking that will re-birth a great nation nigeria is here with us. time for the unity of purpose for the project nigeria has come hence, we need to leverage on this uninterupted opportunities in setting up a great nation we shall be proud of. nigeria must get it right now.if we don't achieve our dream nigeria state now, we will certainly bequeave a rotten system to the generation next to come. page 7
